Hey the Nectar Chocolate shake on fitnessfirstusa.com is very good also.( to me). I purchase those at St Vincient's East at the Pharmacy. Just thought someone might like to know. Have a Great Day Tammy

Thanks so much for all of your encouraging words...I can do this...Thanks Jason I will try to come to the next meet...I have been on vacation but will try to be at the next meet

Hey, I was banded by Dr Miles, Nov 17, 2009 I have had 3 fills I believe I'm at 6.5 cc's in a 9 cc band. I have lost about 25 pounds and that is ok but I just don't feel like I have enough restriction. I could eat a whole cheeseburger and I don't want to...What do you think? Do I need another fill? Can y'all give me some examples of things you eat in a day...I can eat an egg, toast and piece of sausage with no problem...please help...I have been reading this post since I started this journey and this site is what keeps me going...I don't post much, But I need a little encouragement ....thanks for all the help you give even if you didn't know it...

I have tried the Matrix vanilla and added banana, and when I first had surgery I would mix the vanilla with sugar free instant breakfast but I could still taste the protein a little bit but bearable...I have tried the Matrix cookies and cream if not mixed in blender it taste like protein, mixed in blender its better but not great.... I just had my 2nd fill Monday and I'm not eating as much as I was and I'm not hungary except for early in the morning. I'm starving....Hope y'all find something that helps. Have a Great day.... Tammy

Hey I don't mean to cut in on your conversation but I really like the Nectar chocolate truffle that you buy at the pharmacy at St Vincent East. I mix with skim milk in blender with a little ice and it taste like a milk shake to me no protein taste...

I will have my first fill today.. Am I suppose to be food free for 2 hours before fill or what??? Please help........

Well I guess they did that because of my hernia...I dont know but I will ask them Monday did you call and get your appt.....I'm from Manchester... not far from you.....

Hey everyone I am home and doing well igot home about 8:00 last night. I am a little sore like I have been punched or something but not bad enough for my pain meds yeah....I am not very interested in drinking or eating but I am getting in as much as possible. I had a hernia that they had to repair also that was a surprise. But thats ok... as soon as I woke up I was ready to go to the bathroom so they got me to my room and I went, but I had to have an xray to make sure every thing was in place, the stuff I had to drink make me dry heave...Did anyone else have to have the xray.....I don't remember reading it on here...Oh well enough about me I'm doing well and I'm ready to start losing more weight I have lost 11 pounds since last Monday yeah....

hey, I have to be there at 9:15 in the morning i hope everything goes well see you in the morning

Hey this is the first time that I have posted but I read this link every day. I had my pre-op labs and appt with Dr Miles also yesterday. My surgery is Monday the 17th also...I'm excited but having a headache from the protein thing. Good luck.
